The Great City, MarketplaceEnter the bustling hearth of the Great City business, enter the ever-crowded bazaar the Great City is renowned for, enter the Marketplace!

This great business area is situated in the very center of the Great City and, day by day, hundreds of street vendors, peddlers, foreign merchants, barters and food vendors gather in this place to make business.

A small fence surrounds the marketplace for the sole purpose of delimiting the area; often, in fact, many vendors set their booths outside the fence due to the lack of space. During the night the city watch patrols the area in order to prevent theft and robbery. Merchants of the Great City also have representativeâ€™s booths in the Marketplace and they think having a shop facing the marketplace is a great deal; for this reason the shops in the square are highly prized.

In this Blueprint youâ€™ll find an overview map of the whole Marketplace complete with booths and tents, plus maps detailing various tents and booths. These maps include:

Do not take me wrong, the maps are as excellent as always, yet I was expecting a huge market building; "The Great City" seems to deserve no less. And what I have found is basically a marquet square. [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
